It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

This is a decent drama, worth watching, not recommended for kids. DiCaprio is fine and the supporting cast is very good as well.

Africa is the most richest subcontinent according its mines. But these mines are not for natives but for western rulers. Africa was dominated by several colonial nations like Belgium and Britain. That time their rulers used its natural resources for their own needs. After WWII colonial rulers flew from their colony and new giant communism and capitalism entered. They use wealthy Africa according to their wish. Now full of natural resources appear as curse for its natives. To collect gold, coal, copper, diamond etc easily white people creates conflicts. And the whole story is about conflict diamond. Arms business is very profitable in Africa and west sell arms to gain diamond cheaply. In 2003 about 40 nations signed a bill not buy conflict diamonds for the sake of humanity. UN sent special forces for peace keeping and in that forces Bangladesh sent huge in number. Bangladesh armed forces put some extraordinary achievement to bring peace in Sierra Leone. In exchange of honor Bangla is the second official language of Sierra Leone.

Normally, I wait awhile to review movies unless I see them in theaters, but I feel compelled to review this movie sooner. It had an immediate and profound impact on me in a way that few movies have. The story here is not special in a cosmetic sense, and doesn't do anything fancy in any production areas. But it hits the viewer on so many levels with brute force. There's a ton of emotion that makes you really care for the characters and want to help the characters. It shows a real international issue from all sides and puts it in context of how it impacts one family. Solomon's struggle to get back to his family was tangible at every step along the way in his triumphs and his failures. We see his dedication to raising a safe and successful family right away, which I think is great because it legitimizes the way he is always in contrast to the violence around him. It's wonderful that he gets so much attention because him trying to make a better life for his family is what seems to be the best way to combat the corruption and violence that is tearing the country apart. Danny is the contrast to Solomon, but he's also someone we can root for in a way. His goals are not as pure as Solomon's but they are pressing enough that I found it believable that he would use Solomon the way that he does. The ending with him helping Solomon and his son escape and calling Maddy as he bleeds out is a beautiful moment. Maddy was also an unexpectedly good character. I couldn't tell at fist if she was going to be a big character or just appear for the one bar scene. I really liked the scene where she and Danny talk about how difficult it is for the diamond issue to be solved.The social issue of the diamond trade seeps its way into every scene, even the romantic tension between Danny and Maddy, and the surprise ambushes from the revolutionaries. Even when the focus is on the characters, it's always in the context of the diamond issue. This was what really struck me about the movie. As soon as it finished I immediately felt obligated to start researching the products that I buy and find out how it gets made. Maddy has a line at one point, "People back home wouldn't buy a ring if they knew it cost someone else their hand." Well, this movie made me want to find out how many hands I've chopped off without knowing it and make sure I don't cut off any more. I'm thinking that I'll boycott companies by telling them that I won't buy their products unless I can be assured that nobody's getting screwed over in the process. It might not do much, but if enough people boycott, it might. I'm only mentioning this to show just how powerful of an impact this movie had on me and why you should watch it before it goes off Netflix. Blood Diamond's message to us as consumers is: "Let the buyer beware."If you liked Babel, you will love Blood Diamond. It's not really an action movie even though there's a lot of fighting in it, but it will definitely keep your attention and make you feel something. The scene where Solomon is reunited with his son Dia Vendy nearly made me cry and had me on edge the whole time. It's very character driven, but also shows all sides of the issue. I just cant say it enough: watch this movie. It's your obligation as a citizen of the world. Overall Rating: 8.7/10.

It is natural and maybe necessary that groom gives a bride a beautiful stone, namely diamond as a token of his love. But he never know it exists under millions death in Africa. Even child kill African to take this tiny stone. It is ridiculous.However, no one find a way to stop this disaster.Because he also exists under this disaster.
